【008】 Down the river

……

Xuanling Continent.

Time passed imperceptibly, and a week had passed since the heart palpitation incident.

A week is not long or short.

Seven days, Chen Li lived a very fulfilling life.

In the past few days, he has done several great things.

First, the construction of the safe house has further strengthened the level of familiarity and control of the body.

Third, salt mines were found, distilled and purified refined salt, and a large amount of food was stored in pickling.

Third, he tasted herbs and got several good medicinal materials, and even discovered the seasoning he cared about the most.

These major events will definitely have a far-reaching impact on the future.

Especially to taste the herbs, don't look at Chen Li is invincible now, but always to prevent illness and infection, several herbs have good anti-inflammatory, hemostasis, anti-virus effects, maybe one day to use.

A strong physique is the confidence that he dares to taste a hundred herbs.

Although this decision caused him a lot of trouble, the final harvest was definitely worth it.

In addition to positive herbs, several negative herbs have been found to have negative effects such as paralysis, accelerated bleeding, and relaxation of nerves and muscles.

He wrote down the characteristics of all the herbs individually, collected some of them, and planted some of them in the cultivated fields.

After a few days of adaptation, Chen Li has gradually become accustomed to the wilderness life by himself, and only in the dead of night will he silently miss the convenience of modern society.

Soft beds, smooth WiFi, delicious fried chicken, cloudy air, and communication with friends...... It seems that all of this has left him.

As for the idea of missing relatives and friends, it is not too strong, after all, it has only been a few days, and people who are emotionally dull don't even have any idea......

Coincidentally, Chen Li's guy is such a person.

In the space of a week, he had built a relatively sturdy safe house in a decent manner.

After all, with the rapid improvement of proficiency and the refinement of control, at least there is no need to destroy the safehouse that was built so easily, as I feared a few days ago.

In addition, he found that after adding the 'wild cement' he collected when he was collecting water, the adhesion, toughness, hardness, and corrosion resistance between the stones seemed to be much stronger than that of a simple large stone.

The most intuitive level of toughness is from the initial level of 'inferior to tofu' to the level of 'ordinary dry wood'.

With pure brute force, it takes an unknown amount of force to destroy.

Of course, if he has the heart to destroy, he can definitely destroy it with a few fists, but will he be so heartless to hammer?

It's great enough to do it this way.

Therefore, 'wild cement' is definitely his most important discovery, and there is no one more important than refined salt herb seasoning.

After the completion of the safe house, it is integrated and blue-black, even if you accidentally use a little more force, it will not be so easy to tear down the safe house.

With Chen Li's exaggerated work efficiency now, building a safe house is not a matter at all, in order not to violate the harmony, but also for convenience, even the supporting beds, tables and chairs, water tanks and other furniture are taken out by hand.

Chen Li himself is very satisfied with this achievement, as for the appearance... Ahem, as long as it works, after all, he's a pragmatist.

He lay quietly on the roof of a safe house that he had built with his own hands and covered an area of nearly 500 square meters, looking at the starry sky very heartlessly.

The cloudless, clear night sky is like the most beautiful jewel, dotted with countless stars, sparkling and beautiful.

A round of Xuanyue quietly rose, until it occupied the C position of the night sky stage, it was motionless, as if nailed to it, the stars and the Xuanyue, together formed a beautiful picture of the stars and the moon.

Chen Li didn't care much about the most conspicuous protagonist who he had observed for four nights, and continued to observe the stars dotted in the night sky, noting their positions, and admiring the beautiful star map composed of a few or more stars.

"These stars are so bright, they should be the brightest except for the moon, and they are connected like a hammer, and the handle of the hammer also points to the north, so it should be the 'Big Dipper' of this world, right?"

"Wow, the stars on the southeast side are connected like a cow, I don't know if I don't see it, it's lifelike!"

"One, two, three, four, five, six... , more than a thousand stars, this is quite strong! Just as he was sighing, Chen Li suddenly found that the stars that made up the bull's eyes seemed to flash.

It's as if the cow was alive, and when it noticed him, it winked at him.

Chen Li's gaze suddenly became erratic, and he said to himself without being abrupt at all, "What are you going to eat tomorrow, oh, big fish, big fish are not easy to catch, forget it, let's practice swimming skills." ”

His heart was pounding vigorously, seemingly normal, but it was two minutes faster than usual, a drop of cold sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead, and the tense muscles and the barely visible hairs on the back of his hands represented the unrest of his heart.

The moment he noticed the flickering starlight, Chen Li was indifferent on the surface, and the next second he was talking to himself easily, but it was actually the second time he was the most nervous after the crossing.

The first time I opened my eyes was to see the mysterious black panther that was close at hand, huge in size, and scary in appearance.

Thanks to his strong body, as well as a week's adaptation and proficiency period, Chen Li's control of his body is no longer comparable to that of the first day.

He can be sure that his keen eyes will never make such low-level mistakes as dazzling or hallucinating.

The flickering of the bull's-eye star brought back to reality his somewhat fluttering thoughts because of his invincibility for a few days.

This also reminds Chen Li that this is a fantasy world unknown to him; And not the slightly familiar blue ball that only ordinary people exist.

It's night.

Chen was not at ease.

I couldn't sleep, and it took me a full ten minutes to fall asleep.

Following.

Before dawn, Chen Li had already carried a stone fish tank six zhang long, five zhang wide, five zhang high, and half a zhang thick, and came to the big river fifty kilometers away.

This vat was a boulder that Chen Li found three days ago in a canyon full of rocks near the mountains in the east, and it was dug out by hand.

There are two large tanks like this, both of which are used for water storage, and the rest of the small tanks... Well, that is, two or three meters long and wide, more than one meter high, and twenty centimeters thick, he took more than ten mouthfuls.

It's all covered too.

There were only five or six stone jars similar to the round clay pot style, and Chen Li felt that it was enough, so he didn't continue to dig it.

No matter how exaggerated the appearance is, he thinks it's appropriate anyway. So that's what it did.

It is said that failure is the mother of success, and the mother of these large stone jars has turned into crumbs and has become the floor and wall of Chen Li's base camp.

The wall is two feet thick, that is, six meters six, so I ask you if you are afraid.

Because of this thickness, Chen Li had to expand, and the area of the safe house was much larger, much less than the original designed living space, but he didn't care.

The body is so strong that it seems to have no limit, and with Chen Li's efforts for a few days, he successfully turned into a stonemason, which is really gratifying.

Straight to the point.

Chen Li easily placed the large stone jar on a stony river beach that was obviously harder, and after a muffled bang, the bottom of the jar was tightly clasped to the sunken rectangular ground.

"Although the pickled venison and fish at home are to be eaten on the road later, the salt taste is still too strong, and it is really fresh meat to eat."

Chen didn't take off his clothes, and plunged headlong into this big river, which was seven or eight kilometers wide, had no borders, had rough waves, surging undercurrents, and was bottomless.

Half a minute later, the originally relatively calm surface of the river was like boiling oil with clean water, and bubbles kept coming out, tumbling and exploding.

One wave after another rose twenty or thirty meters high, wave after wave did not stop, wave after wave, and the undercurrent under the water surface surged, making people unreal.

Suddenly, the boiling water of the river was calm for no reason, and the water body in the middle of the river that had been stirred to a yellow color revealed a bright red, and after a while, the red color expanded more and more, and the river began to boil again from the red part of the water body.

Bubbles are surging, and hot water vapor is constantly steaming.

Whoa—

The surface of the water was suddenly violently broken, and Chen Li broke through the water with a strange-looking fish-like monster in his arms and landed heavily on the shore.

A bright red glow of pale golden blood gushed from the monster's wounds and mouth, melting the earth and stone, and boiling hot.
